historical tub box without any super majority. the responded side of the office standing by the beach. i p headquarters in delhi, tell the what's the mood where you are with the beach. i p on costs the wind, but not by as much as we expect the we had the, when the party didn't quite get the numbers that it was expected. that just started racing, i would say is not really the news. today's,

the news is how the alliance has to be typically 100 feet beyond 400 feet back to different exit and it hasn't even minus across 300 so far along with this. so that gives you a sort of a sense of how the body is starting the new party inside of the time you said that it is going to be some interest person into one of the side just to give you a certain. so you know, here we say that the go to the engine fundamentals to produce until in, in the last for the most part of the last 30 years has made some really serious setbacks on the seller. if you just take off the microphone and hold it up to your mouth,

cuz we can hardly hear you there because of the drumming in the background. but tell me if the trends prove accurate, what would this result? main phone loading. it would mean a lot, a lot different kind of government. uh you know. huh. that would be a pain in the last 10 years or forwarded to the side of the building that somebody is doing or the toning. don't decide. you know, the phone isn't really oh, you know, it's hard to box. it turned on and it really affects the government governments because you have to take the initiative parties. remember last time the b to b minus to get the majority of resulting majority on it to a number of 303. see somebody soon. but this time, it has a minus across even 250 tobacco came back to the movies and he may

not be able to take the final decision that he's known for charter. got up with the ladies there at the headquarters. thank you very much for joining us. and let's spring indeed. oh, we use delhi bureau chief sons. i pay this month. so good to see you there. tell us more about the current trends and what they're telling us. or am i just looked up the numbers again and what we're seeing as a trend that's money testing itself. the n d a left by the beach. epi has so far not across the $300.00 c marks, and india is trading around $213.00 maybe even a little bit more. and that is a huge surprise, obviously, and shallow that the beach repeat headquarter, has touched on the state of what's up to date. let me just sort of emphasize that a bit more what top reddish is by far the most popular state of india. it has a population larger than pockets done over 30. for instance. it's sense 80

parliamentarians to the national capital and beck and the last general elections and 2019 the beach. repeat alone was eva, twin 62 of those seats. and now that marching was hopped and congress could patch up a few seats. they aren't even more so a strong regional party the so much why the party, which is a member of the india alliance that sort of rose from the ashes. and is there anything there at the moment and like shadow set, if you want to form a strong government, the road leads to, to publish and using seats better as the beach a p has done this time around, is meaning that it has to last seats in the in the heartland, which is really the power base of the beach ape and like showed, was set the beach i. p will have to reach out to its coalition partners in the n d a. and they would have to great to saying things because the beach, if you cannot do it alone anymore, you were out on the campaign trail. are you surprised by the number of sofa or

i must say, i am really surprised. we actually had a batch here in the studio amongst us report us in correspondence and my bed. what's the furthest off i had thought that n d a as an alliance could, may be managed around 350 seats and look, they haven't even crossed the 300 seat margin yet. and also by now was out there and we'll talk dish way our congress has gained some seats where so much body. the region of potty is performing well and whether the trip he has lost about half of it seats. i got the impression. yes, there is voter apathy, there is an anti incumbency tendency, but i really thought that the so called moody metric is pulling through that the prime minister alone and his guarantee that he gets to vote us. i will take care of you that and that's my thought of a trick, but maybe it's, it's fair to say now with this page that the moody metric has reached its peak and that mr. moody alone is not able to convince the grade to vote us here in india.

magic sounds like it's all about sandra feet has been there for us in delhi. thank you very much for the analysis. well, the election results in india will be closely watched in washington. the west has increasingly prioritized its relationship with india and a change in global order. the bolts to biggest democracies, c i to i on many things including keeping china has power in check. but india in particular, looks keen to preserve some dividing lights. it's a strategic partnership that only keeps on growing. it special status was on display nearly a year ago during indian prime minister and their engine mode is trip to the us. moti is one of just 5 world leaders, welcomed by president joe biden on the state visit, a partnership that is among most consequential in the world that

a lot. we lost all our loved ones. we have nothing left enough for the love of god implemented cease fire enough. we are tired, humiliated, and broken up, gets the prospect for full truth. now look slim after us, president joe biden presented what are you called and is really ceasefire proposal that would also see to the release of hostages, held by how mas afternoon is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu came forward and dismissed the deal, and says that fully destroying from us has been a key priority from the start and spoke to him to the help of we are using calculus ways to bring back out hostages, because it allows you what we've come. a long way, but in the process, we've kept the voice of objectives in mind. primarily the limitation of home us. it will be, we won't give up on them either. it's the old part of the plans that clinic by me

today. but there's also been pressure on netanyahu to speak the truth. and israel families of hostages have been calling for an agreement that would bring their missing loved ones home. i feel that from week to it, it just we here just for about more and more hostages, the dying. and now we are in the create to close moments. and if we not going to negotiate and will make a hostage, there is no hope for this country. change route and i can see the men coming back alive, whoever is still alive if it's still going to happen. now that i can these days and, and gaza as more mounds of trouble pile up, international pressure is mounting on israel to end. it's more rather challenging deputy editor of santa fe magazine, and bo then joins us now. kata is now calling for
